Let’s Create Some Better Nicknames for Cubs Players’ Weekend Jerseys

The Cubs will be donning their special Players’ Weekend duds for their series with the Nats, but some of the nicknames are a little meh. So after seeing the hilarious video from Cubs strength and conditioning coach Tim Buss (which seems to have disappeared?), I wanted to take things a step further.After all, there are 25 guys on the roster and Bussy didn’t get to everyone.

The overriding truth here is that you should never, ever, under any circumstances, pick your own nickname. Nicknames are best when someone else gives them to you, whether they’re based on your snaggletooth, your funky BO, your inability to carry a tune, or the kind of fish you like.
